There are many children in Vanuatu that don’t have access to adequate healthcare or education. Some children in Vanuatu are also at a high risk of sexual abuse & exploitation, violence and child labour. And in addition to this, the escalating impacts of climate change are being felt across the Pacific Islands including Vanuatu as natural hazards are becoming more frequent & intense.
Below is the work we do as a Vanuatu charity to help ensure children there are safe, healthy, happy and have access to the services & education they need, not only to survive but to thrive.
We believe every child deserves a bright future, and for over 100 years, Save The Children has been dedicated to doing everything we can to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. We go to the toughest places to save children from earthquakes, cyclones, conflict and disease.
Where children are being exploited, neglected or abused, we protect them from harm. We always make sure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. And through our programs, we deliver lasting results for children to help them transform their lives – and the future we share. Here is how we help children through our Vanuatu charity and how to donate to Vanuatu. Your donation will help support children access critical health and education opportunities in Vanuatu and around the world.
The Work We Do As A Vanuatu Charity
Save the Children has established offices and programs in Vanuatu as part of our Vanuatu charity efforts to help children and their families in need. We also work with the government, local partners and communities in Vanuatu to help deliver healthcare, education and child protection programs.
When emergencies occur we’re there to respond immediately whilst also providing ongoing support during the recovery process - we’re currently working with the Vanuatu government to make schools safer for children during disasters too. We help children and families prepare for disasters and recover afterwards and work with local communities to build their capacity to respond when disasters occur.
The evidence-based programs we run as part of our Vanuatu charity focus on the health, education and protection of children. They are designed to:
-
Give children a healthy start in life
-
Empower children by ensuring they have access to quality basic education
-
Protect children from harm
-
Make children more resilient to climate change and disasters
-
Ensure children’s voices are heard and they have an opportunity to participate in creating a safe, happy and healthy future in their communities
